Hey Yum. Was wondering what you had planned for that Gixxer. ;-)
I could make one helluva track bike outta that thing!

Great effort there Yumyum - can't see too much from the pics but must be really nice "in the flesh"
Those 750's are great bikes - handling of a 600 and the power of a 1000
Merry Christmas !

It is hard to tell in the pic what I did to that bike since I got it. I replaced pretty much everything that was broken. one cracked faring, swapped all locks to one with intact ignition, triple tree, new left side air intake tube (was missing screen) fixed dent on the tank and removed yellow decal replaced with black/gold reflectable decals, removed old white decals on the lower cowl, painted and apply the same scheme decals. gold rim tape, gold fairings and engine bolts from Pro-bolits. new chain. and just got new back tire. The bike was good condition mechanically with lots of upgrade. so I just had to do the aesthetic but it's been fun working on it.

My heart is still with 600rr. Now after few months of having two bikes, I can say I love my cbr so much more even though this gsxr is fun bike to ride

"before" it had the ugly yellow decals. I like black on black decals during the day. and gold at night.. like a shinning star at night hahaha
